She might have some competition...Gill Rapley is apparently working on one atm/soon.

[Aitch]

oooh, just saw this. gill rapley's definitely working on one, i know that the recent publicity got more publishers interested which can only be a good thing. that said, it's not like there will only ever be one book on BLW, i shouldn't think. i imagine there are loads in the works. none from me at the mo, though...

Aitch, can i just say, thank you. i have just read and joined your blog after reading something about on here and i am so pleased. i am currently weaning my 7 mo ds and was stuck in a mashed potato rut. he loves to feed himself and will eat anything i put in front of him (spinach,toast,risotto,melon pieces, pasta etc) but was getting a bit stuck with what to do next for him. you have given me the confidence to just give him a bit of whatever i am having (which i was doing anyway, but pureeing it a bit first)in its true form and not to worry about the potential hazards. its a roast dinner for us all tomorrow and i bet he is going to adore it. he is such a good and confident eater and in am sure it is down to me not worrying about the mess, unlike a lot of my friends, and just giving him the opportunity to get his hands in it.puress have their place maybe in the early stages but as soon as a baby is used to food, then give them food, not mush! brilliant.

What have you got to lose by sending a letter with your web site address to some publishers? Get the writers and artists yearbook, loads of relevant addresses in there. It's ace! I'd love to have a copy of it in my kitchen. Or how about a magazine column, blw diary or somesuch. You're doing all the work anyway on the blog.
Ker-ching!

[Beenleigh]

sorry, am I going on about this?

[Aitch]

lol...

[Aitch]

ooooh, is it out? why on earth did you buy practical parenting? i'll buy it tomorrow.
lol at AK, the journalist who wrote it (not me, obv) sent me her other quotes... she is a bit bonkers on the subject of BLW. i wonder why?

[lulumama]

can you link to said article?

fancy AK being sniffy about not need needing to cook seperate fancy shmancy meals for babies??

[lulumama]

ooooh, bad wabbit!!


surely non BLW babies gag and choke too?

anyhoo, DD is now 2, so BLW is a distant memory..although she treats everything as fingerfood...even porridge !

[Aitch]

dd loves being fed ice cream, for some reason. ittle bloomin' diva. so what did i say? did i sound warm and sensible and caring? am i a Practical Parent?

[FrannyandZooey]

ooh will look out for this

LOL at "fine, get out the spoons" with silent

[Beenleigh]

NO!! I didn't know! LOL! See, I can spot a talent!!
Right themn, I need to know more. You write for practical parenting magazine?

[Beenleigh]

well, then get it farking published then. Blimey.

[Beenleigh]

god, I m a twat!

[Beenleigh]

thanks lapin, will do!

[Aitch]

no no, i didn't write the article. a journo contacted me because of the blog. 'lazy' journalist googling a subject, hem hem... it's the sort of thing that drives MNers (who don't have a clue how the media works) wild with fury.
i keep on expecting a publisher to type the words into a search engine but no luck so far. perhaps a letter writing campaign?

PS, is that really all of my quote? they're shortened it rather, i think i might sound a bit petulant there...

[Aitch]

coolio. although that bit about getting out the spoons was longer in the original i think. oooh, i'll have to go and buy it tomorrow, how vairy exciting.
